ADAPTING TO CHANGE

Back in September last year our Topic of Conversation was focused on Accepting Impermanence is the Nature of Human Existence which certainly provoked a lot of comments from our readers.  This month we are extending this topic to focus on Adapting to Change in our Lives. If we accept change, then do we automatically adapt to the change?  
​Accepting or Adapting . . . do these two words conjure up a different meaning for many of us?  Do they necessarily follow on one after the other?

If we understood that everything in our existence is transitory, then we would be able to accept that changes to the way we live and our relationships with family and friends will not remain fixed. Accepting life’s changes is one thing, but is adapting to the change sometimes put in the ‘too-hard’ basket? 
 
What do we mean by being adaptable? Is it just allowing flexibility and a willingness to try a different way, responding with a different attitude, or to solve a problem without any angst or anxiousness? Perhaps you would like to share with us how you have adapted to the changes in your life.
 
In her article, Flexibility and Adaptability to Change, Bernadette expressed: 

Change ushers in the new, it feels like an expansion and a step into the unknown. To be in the flow of life with the changes enables more steadiness and appreciation for whatever each new day brings.
 
Our topic of conversation for this month is an opportunity for our readers to comment on how they have adapted to changes in their lives. We invite you to share your experiences of how adaptability has shaped the way you live, and how you have accepted and responded to changing circumstances in your life.
